    Re: 2014 Corvette PlatstiDip Project

    I've used Plastidip on a spoiler and wheels. Worked well for those applications. I wouldn't do an entire car that sits outside 24/7. Eventually dirt will embed into the plastidip. If it's kept inside and maintained, it should work well.

    The door handle/open area is showing some wear on the driver side otherwise all good.

    Products used
    Avalanche gray base coats
    Satin extra lime color coats
    Dip Armor Clear Coat

    I got mixed comments when I posted that I was going to plastidip my corvette.

    Plastidip and vettes don't go together
    It will fall off in 6 months
    Etc

    10/10 would recommend and I want to do it again. Very fun DIY project.

    This has clear coat and ceramic coated too

    My dipped truck sits outside 24/7. It's at 3 years.

    Here is the truck
    3 years
    Outside 24/7
    No ceramic coat
    It does have their dip armor clear coat

    Zero issues at 3 years


    Their tech has come a long way over the years.

    I'm sure the clear helps. I've never had a chance to use it.

    For me- one of the coolest threads. The results look great. It is a textbook case of you get out of it what you put into it. Really glad to hear how well it is holding up for you.
